Sacramento Pet Photographer – Purple Collar Pet Photography

I recently had a visit with a number of the dogs in the Cosumnes River College Veterinary Technician program. These dogs are rescued from various animal shelters at the beginning of each school year, and spend the next nine months assisting the students in learning various techniques of veterinary medicine before they are adopted out to their forever homes in the  summer. It’s a great program for everyone involved.

I spent a brief period of time with seven out of the twelve dogs this past weekend. They were all very sweet and although a few were camera shy at first they all warmed up eventually! Here’s Maya, a several month-old pit/hound mix. More to follow soon!

I had an awesome photo shoot with a pair of Corgis this weekend that I almost didn’t want to end. Franklin and Peyton are half-brother and -sister, born two years apart, and were meeting each other for the first time. We decided to get them together at a nearby park for a fun photo session full of fetch, slide rides, and other awesomeness. I was so happy to be a part of this first meeting between two wonderful dogs.

Peyton did very well on her first photo shoot, especially for a puppy, but Franklin is an old hand at modeling and with some amazing help from his person slid right back into the role of canine supermodel.

I’ll leave you with one last shot of Peyton gazing up at her new person. If that’s not a trusting look, I don’t know what is. 🙂

Two weekends ago I had the pleasure of spending a beautiful spring afternoon with a Husky mix named Cocoa and her owners. Cocoa was rescued through Norsled several years ago, and now spends her days in a loving home just a few blocks away from a wide-open dog park. It was to there we headed for her shoot, and we had it all to ourselves. Cocoa had free reign to romp through the tall grass and do what she loves most — chase her Chuck It ball!
